Instructions<\/p>\n
1.<\/p>\n
Cook the Bacon<\/p>\n
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
\nLay bacon slices in the pan and cook until crispy, flipping as needed (8\u201312 mins).
\nTransfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
\n\u2705\u00a0Tip: Save a little bacon fat to cook the hash browns or eggs for added flavor.<\/p>\n
2.<\/p>\n
Make the Hash Browns<\/p>\n
Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze dry with a clean towel.
\nHeat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
\nAdd the potatoes in a flat layer, season with salt and pepper, and press down with a spatula.
\nCook undisturbed for 5\u20136 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side for 4\u20135 minutes.
\nOptional: Stir in onions or seasonings before the flip.
\n3.<\/p>\n
Scramble the Egg<\/p>\n
In a bowl, beat eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
\nHeat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
\nPour in eggs and stir gently with a spatula, cooking low and slow until softly set.
\nRemove from heat just before fully cooked (they\u2019ll finish with residual heat).
\n4.<\/p>\n
Toast the Bread<\/p>\n
Toast the slices in a toaster or in a pan with a bit of butter.
\nSpread with butter or jam while hot.

To Serve<\/p>\n

\nAdd optional sides like fruit, sausage, or hot coffee\/tea for a full diner-style experience.

Variations<\/p>\n
Healthier option: Swap bacon for turkey bacon or avocado, use egg whites, or add saut\u00e9ed spinach to your eggs.
\nCheesy eggs: Stir in shredded cheddar, feta, or mozzarella at the end.
\nMake it a sandwich: Stack bacon, eggs, and cheese between toast or a bagel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
